Re: The Redskins Thread

I think the decision was a bit hasty. I know Ramsey turns the ball over. It's because he will take a chance. Brunell doesn't have to worry about that unless the NFL starts to allow bounce passes. His arm is dead. He can move well and still has the head for it but he has no zip and can't throw deep at all.

That being said, I still hope we beat the Cowboys so bad that their owner's plastic surgery is reversed.

Re: The Redskins Thread

Holy , a Redskins thread.

My stance on this is I really don't care who the QB is as long as they win some damn games.

I'm also unable to say that I think either one is better than the other one to the point where its a slam dunk decision. I also saw all the pre-season games (thanks to Tivo and the NFL Network) and Brunell looked alot better than last year, and yes, better than Ramsey.

Brunell is more careful with the ball, but that means alot of dinking and dunking. Ramsey brings more big play ability, but also more big mistake ability. He throws passes that I wonder what in the world he must have seen to even think about letting that ball go. He doesn't seem to have improved a whole bunch in this area since we drafted him and I think this has frustrated Gibbs greatly in the last year.

I don't like the way it came about, guy leaves with injury and all that, but I can't blame Gibbs for making the switch. I do think Brunell gives us a better chance to win this week, though. For one, Dallas is typically all over our poor QB, and at least Brunell has a little mobility to get out of the pocket. He's more accurate throwing on the run, too. And hopefully he avoids the big mistake that drives yet another stake into our hearts (and that we avoid inventing a new way to lose for once).

More importantly, it opens things up for Portis. Once Hat-trick got knocked out (and I call him that, 'cuz he's good for 3 INTs a game ), Chicago stopped stacking 8 in the box. At least Brunell keeps the defense honest....

Gulp! Brunell does give us a better shot at winning. That's not saying much though. The "We want Campbell" chants may be coming soon.

For those who would like, hailredksins.com is a good chat board.

I think maybe you should fear it if that were to happen. I'm no Skins expert but I do know that Campbell is not ready for the NFL this season. Brunell is the right pick because Ramsey never did anything to inspire confidence from his coach or teammates. He's been awful. Although I do have to wonder about the preparation and the timing of the decision...

In any event, the defense looks just as solid if not more so than last year. Give Tuna the beatdown of his life, will ya?

I agree. I don't want Campbell to get a beatdown in his rookie year. Let Brunell and Ramsey take the beatings.

Re: The Redskins Thread

The only way Campbell sees any action this year is if both Brunell and Ramsey go down in the same game. Other than that, his job for at least the next two years is to carry a clipboard and pay attention.
